BEVERLY, Mass., September 14.
It is now goodbye to the summer capi
tal and to the summer White House by
the sea. There has been a tumultuous
week, tumultuous for Beverly in par

A .general and thorough campaign
against typhoid fever in particular and

in general has 'been inaugurated by
President Mott-Smith of the Board of
Health, who says that there is entirely
too much typhus prevalent throughout
the islands and that something must
be done to check it.
Last Friday Mr. Mott-Smith, accom
panied by Dr. Pratt of the Board of
Health and." Dr. Duncan, the food
analyst, made a trip by automobile to
the Industrial School, where there are
now three cases of typhoid. They made
a thorough inspection of the sanitary
conditions at the school and did not
find them entirely satisfactory. The
water for the school is drawn from a
spring that is on lower ground than the
school. It has been walled in with con
crete to prevent contamination, but it

A new system of physieians' reports

the floor at night wondering how he is
ever going to work out of his trouble,
but at the last moment gets a fairly !
well ordered succession of ideas in his
mind and grimly faces the music. Of
course there are many citizens who have
that experience. The President's
"speechifying" troubles, however, are
many fold greater than those of the
average public speaker. He must make
from one to half a dozen speeches near
Jy every day now for oti days. He
wants to emphasize a few new ideas and
also to amplify a number of old ones in
the time of his long journeying.
His secretaries have collected a big
bundle of manuscript, bearing data on
numerous topics. As things have oc
curred that the President wished to
dwell upon, he has asked that data be
prepared. This information has already
been packed carefully away in his spe
cial car so that it can be fished out on
a moment's notice. For, while the
President has prepared some of his
speeches during the last three or four
nights, he is starting to Boston this af
ternoon with practically no speech writ
ten out entirely. No advance copies
have gone to the press associations for
release on the day of delivery. In
large part the President intends to
.speak extemporaneously on his western
tour. When he speaks on national for
stry or tariff, or reclamation, or any
one of a dozen other topics, certain
basic facts will be at his hand, but most
of the President's assertions regarding
those facts will be spoken on the spur
of the moment.
This method is nothing new, although
sometimes heretofore the President has
made more preparation. He has always
been averse to making up set speeches
in advance and has put off such tasks
till the very last. His pleasure in his
vacation has been so keen that he has

PUNGHBQWL DEMON
FEUDS FOR HIS LIFE
One Silva, sometime known as the
Punchbowl Demon, a pugilist of poor
repute, got himself into pilikia at the
Princess skating rink last night. Silva
thinks that he is a fighter. In spite
of the terrible lickings that he has
taken from various professionals in the
ring, he still thinks that he is a terror
on the public streets.
Last night he made a nuisance of
himself in the Princess rink. He soak
ed a sailorman in the eye and then
hurried to the repair room. But there
his courage ended. He stayed in the
repair room and could not be induced
to come forth. He knew that a bunch
was waiting for him outside and he
felt sure of safety within the mystic
precincts ot the rink.
When Joe Cohen asked him to with
draw, he refused and cowered down
with his head hidden in a mass of
skate wheels. Joe argued for some time
and then quit. Joe locked up the place
and latest reports are that frenzied
sailors were walking up and down the
outside of the Princess skating rink
and that the Demon was still burying
his face in the pile of skate-wheels.

NEW YORK, September 25. The Hudson-Fulton celebration
opened today. The naval pageant on the Hudson river was fifteen
miles in length, the vessels comprising the monster exhibition riding
in double column. There were fifty-seven warships of various na
tions in the line, and over a thousand other vessels took part in the
procession.
It is estimated that as many as five million spectators lined the
shores of the Hudson or crowded boats to observe the spectacle.
The pageant will be repeated after the fall of darkness, when the
ships of war will be electrically illuminated. "

Robert K. Bonine's new moving pic

ed last evening under auspicious cir
cumstances, the place being packed
throughout the time the pictures were
thrown on the screen. The Bonine, as
Mr. Bonine has named his place of
amusement, has the look of a real, cosy
theater. The seating arrangements are
excellent, being graded downward to
ward the footlights so that every seat
gives the patron an unobstructed view
of the screen. The latter is a huge
picture frame and the pictures are so
adjusted and focused that they set
perfectly within this handsome border.
The arrangement of side curtains and
American flags gives the stage a fine

evening were home scenes and included
his fine series of the Honolulu Fire
Department in action, responding to
a fire alarm. This picture was recent
ly taken by Mr. Bonine. This was
followed by the Honolulu Shriner's
paradeand a Pathe picture which was
quite amusing. The famous series of
pictures showing the Atlantic fleet

when they were decorated with leia
by Honolulu society women, the big

docks, eaught popular favor and there
was much applause. The entire en

Throughout the evening Sonny
Cunha presided at the piano and add

evening. An amusing sketch was also
presented by Frank May and a young
Hawaiian employe of the Naval Sta
tion who took off a couple of Japanese,
one making a speech in Japanese and
the other interpreting into pidgin Eng
lish. This was a side-splitting interpolation.
